Top issues during term (20)
Proposed 45-Day Data Center Moratorium
Unknown; large loads could strain infrastructure or, if flexible, benefit ratepayers.
Code of Ethics and Conduct annual review
Homeless housing and services funding
The department uses state homekey and other grant funds for shelter, prevention, rapid rehousing, and counseling programs.

Any new Inspector General office could carry added city costs, though no figures were on the agenda.

City Sponsorship Program funding for nonprofit community events
$158,214 in city funds and in-kind services for the July-December 2026 cycle, with a possible increase under discussion.
Homelessness Action Plan
Prop One passage and state funding availability will shape whether affordable projects can be financed; only about 20% of the city's regional housing need is being tracked against a gap of roughly 7,600 very-low and low-income units.

$15,000 annual membership, potentially at no cost through a public-entity waiver program.

The plan itself doesn't direct funding, but its policies will shape future budget decisions on parks, trees, and services.

Hiring an outside statistical or legal expert would cost city money, but no figure was given — the commission noted it lacks the budget and the call sits with the City Council.

2027 Deaf Commission workplan and goals
Title 20 historic preservation code clean-up
